"Americans are accustomed to thinking of Britain as their most reliable ally"
Only if they are geography challenged and don't think of Australia.

Absolutely.
On pretty much every major anti-American international-organizational issue britain is vehemently anti American and its representatives gleefully and gloatingly demonstrate their joy at every anti-American "achievement." [Britain's UN voting record is almost as anti-American (And anti-Semitic/Israel!) as are those of France, China, Germany and Canada]
And Britain -- unlike the Aussies who have been at our side every inch of the way! -- has been on the side of the enemy or at best neutral at pretty much every boots-on-the-ground opportunity to demonstrate its much-vaunted "loyalty" and "special relationship" since we saved it from certain annihilation and its ingrate folks from the gas-chambers in WW-II.
The United States of America has only two True Allies [Used to be three until New Zealand was over-run by whining Limey shop stewards and other layabouts!] -- and once-great britain isn't one of them!
